“C” GPS Art Drawn in the Tokugawa Shogun Family’s Seaside Garden✨
International cooperation by GPS art of “C” onto Tokyo! From March 8 (Saturday) to May 31 (Saturday), 2025, a new project of “Walk in Her Shoes 2025”, “Let’s Walk and Draw “C” on the Earth! Let’s start GPS art!
Walk in Her Shoes 2025″ is an international cooperation program to raise awareness about global water issues and the current situation of women and girls in developing countries by simply walking at a time and place of your choice. Let’s draw the “C” of CARE with GPS art and send it to the world!
GPS art in Hamarikyu Gardens in Chuo-ward, Tokyo. Hama-rikyu is a historic daimyo’s garden that was developed in the Edo period (1603-1867) as a place for falconry by the shoguns, and is a cultural asset garden that has been used as an imperial villa since the Meiji period (1868-1912).
The most distinctive feature of this garden is that it is adjacent to Tokyo Bay and has a tidal pond that incorporates seawater. Since the Edo period (1603-1867), the garden was designed with an awareness of coexistence with nature, and even in today’s increasingly urbanized society, it retains a strong waterfront flavor. Although surrounded by skyscrapers, once you step into the garden, you will feel a sense of tranquility as if you have wandered into another world, with its seasonal flowers and water features.
This year, by walking or running and leaving a trail of the “C” of CARE and posting the saved GPS image on Facebook, X (Twitter), and Instagram with the two hashtags “#Walking for InternationalCooperation2025” and “#GPSArt,” you can donate 100 yen.
We are also developing a Walk in Her Shoes 2025 version of the “Reply Art” developed by the “Hokuriku GPS Art Club”. Please try this one as well!
